I think you are right GBoF - a deal needs to be made, in one way or another.
Not sure force is gonna get these guys to move on - might need to bargain with them as much as it pains me.
I've never had this much hatred for another human being before this, its weird.

I'll put up with a bit of drug dealing, a bit of prostitution, a bit of mess and disorganization, some pissing... but sh*tting on the street? 

If I went and gave them a good kicking most people from the neighborhood would probably hate me because they feel sorry for them

I'm near the end of my tether, it could be a sign to move on - we may win this battle but I doubt we'll win the war.

I hear ya hpeak,
But these guys certainly know where there next meal is coming from, the main offender is a right chubby git, the local bakeries and restaurants give them all the left overs.

There is plenty of food and sympathy for the homeless here in Zona Sul - that's why they come here in the first place, the favelas don't put up with them anymore, they kick them out and that's why there are all down here running amuck.
 
I do have sympathy for the true homeless but not these rats, go sh*t on some one else street or use the sea, one block away.

Its about time people on my block grew a back bone, if some one shat in front of my door in London the whole block would swing a punch or they'd get arrested and spend a few nights in the nick.

Anyway enough moaning & more action - I'll post an update if you don't see my mug on the evening news for killing a mendigo first.

Yes Boyci, you’ve shown a complete lack of sensitivity in this all too common situation. I think that at the very least you should educate them; hang a roll of toilet tissue on your garden fence along with leaving a supply of those little white plastic shopping bags so that these much maligned and unfortunate lost souls have a receptacle in which to defecate. Any good gringo should acknowledge that we’re all made in God’s image and so the sight of a likeness of Him squeezing one out on a public street shouldn’t seem unnatural. And anybody who may recommend taking a baseball bat to this sub-human rabble may rightly be ignored.   

Boucie, do you live in Laranjeiras? My street is like an open-air dormitory so I feel your pain daily. You have your first world apartment stepping out onto your third world sidewalk.

Bad idea to attract ants with sugar. As soon as you stop feeding them, they will find your kitchen, even if it's nine stories up.
